Silly and super creative idea! I imagine those pop-ups were part of the games difficulty (and part of the charm as there were many fun ones). Perhaps I would've only requested that when the job was done, I'd rather have them as side notifications rather than pop-ups where I had to click x in order to remove them from my screen. Also - is there a feature to drag windows? I would've loved to have that to keep the three main windows open at the same time. Thanks for such a lovely and fun game :D

Got a final score of 5070 before I got stuck trying to find someone's balloon animal. This game's fun, but a bit too frantic even at the start. I'm sure there's plenty of fun text but I barely got the chance to read any of it because there were so many e-mails coming in (is there any penalty if you reply to them late?) One thing that could've helped is if the results of each successful job was shown as a side notification (similar to the wages being paid) rather than a pop-up window. I also maybe would've liked some music (maybe as another program you could open up, that sounds like a fun idea).

Thank you very much for the feedback :) 
Completely agree, if I had more time or were to revisit this game post-jam I would soften the start of the game and I love the idea of a music program to play background music from. Also the job results panels as side bar notifications is a good shout! 

There's currently no penalty to replying to emails late, the plan was to tie that into the score calculations but there wasn't enough time to get that in. Hopefully in a post-jam patch I can hit all these points! 
Thanks again!!

i had a hard time paying my clowns (my dumb brain just gave every clown a job) 

The bill was 200   ):

Developer

But does every clown deserve a job at your agency? 

Thank you for playing! Sorry for the high bills :)

For as simple as it is, the game is super cool! It almost got addicting at some point, but it does start to get a bit repetitive. I love the artstyle, the game was just lacking on the sound department (and the lack of music doesn't help) but I think the positives outweight the negatives, pretty fun game!

I hope you got a taste of what it's really like to work in the clown agency business!
Thank you for checking it out! :)
